Cuomo concluded his remarks with the assertion that New York "still knows what America is supposed to be."
New York still knows what America is supposed to be. And we must shout it from the mountain tops. We must provide guidance to this nation.
We must stand up and say, "You spread fear and we will spread love."
We will stand up and say, "You try pull us apart and we will stand stronger for each other."
We will stand up and say, "Yes we are black, white and brown – but we are one."
We will stand up and say, "We are gay and straight – but we are one as a community."
We will stand up and say, "Yes we are Christian, Muslim and Jews – but we are one."
We will say, "Yes we are individuals but we are also one community. One family."
